>Danny Deever Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

>"What are the bugles blowin' for," said Files-on-Parade. "To turn you out, to turn you out," the Colour-Sergeant said. "What makes you look so white, so white?" said Files-on-Parade. "I'm dreadin' what I've got to watch, "the Colour-Sergeant said. For they're hangin' Danny Deever, you can hear the Dead March play, The regiment's in 'ollow square -- they're hangin' him to-day; They've taken of his buttons off an' cut his stripes away, An' they're hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'.
<

>"What makes the rear-rank breathe so 'ard?" said Files-on-Parade. "It's bitter cold, it's bitter cold, "the Colour-Sergeant said. "What makes that front-rank man fall down?" said Files-on-Parade. "A touch o' sun, a touch o' sun, "the Colour-Sergeant said. They are hangin' Danny Deever, they are marchin' of 'im round, They 'ave 'alted Danny Deever by 'is coffin on the ground; An' 'e'll swing in 'arf a minute for a sneakin' shootin' hound -- O they're hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'!
<

>"'Is cot was right-'and cot to mine, "said Files-on-Parade. "'E's sleepin' out an' far to-night, "the Colour-Sergeant said. "I've drunk 'is beer a score o' times, "said Files-on-Parade. "'E's drinkin' bitter beer alone, "the Colour-Sergeant said. They are hangin' Danny Deever, you must mark 'im to 'is place, For 'e shot a comrade sleepin' -- you must look 'im in the face; Nine 'undred of 'is county an' the regiment's disgrace, While they're hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'.
<

>"What's that so black agin' the sun?" said Files-on-Parade. "It's Danny fightin' 'ard for life, "the Colour-Sergeant said. "What's that that whimpers over'ead?" said Files-on-Parade. "It's Danny's soul that's passin' now, "the Colour-Sergeant said. For they're done with Danny Deever, you can 'ear the quickstep play, The regiment's in column, an' they're marchin' us away; Ho! the young recruits are shakin', an' they'll want their beer to-day, After hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'.

>“为什么吹响军号，”列队接受检阅的士兵们说。 “让你们集合，让你们集合，”上士说。 “什么让你脸色看起来如此苍白，如此苍白？”士兵说。 “我害怕将要看到的，”上士说。 他们正要绞死丹尼·笛福，你可听见哀乐正在奏响， 一大群士兵在空旷的广场——今天他们要绞死它； 他们解下他的扣子，砍掉他的衣带， 要在清晨绞死丹尼·笛福。
<

>“什么让后排的人呼吸艰难？”士兵说。 “是刺骨的冷，是刺骨的冷，”上士说。 “什么让前排人跪倒？”士兵说。 “摸一下阳光，摸一下阳光，”上士说。 他们要绞死丹尼·笛福，围着他行进， 在他的棺材边停下，棺材在地上； 半分钟后他要被一颗偷偷摸摸的子弹追上，在空中摇摆—— 哦，他们要在清晨绞死丹尼·笛福！
<

>“他的小床是不是右手边在挖的那只，”士兵说。 “今夜他将永久地露宿，”上士说。 “我喝过二十次他的啤酒，”士兵说。 “他将一个人喝他痛苦的啤酒，”上士说。 他们要绞死丹尼·笛福，你们把他带到他的位置， 因为他射杀了一名熟睡的同志——你们该看看他的表情； 这是他郡县里的乡亲和广场这群人的耻辱， 他们要在清晨绞死丹尼·笛福。
<

>“为什么太阳下去如此黑暗？”士兵说。 “这是丹尼在与生命殊死搏斗，”上士说。 “是什么在头顶呜咽？”士兵说。 “这是丹尼的灵魂在逝去，”上士说。 他们已经干掉丹尼·笛福，进行曲正在奏响， 士兵们列成纵队，行进而去； 呵！年轻的新兵在颤抖，他们要去喝今天的啤酒， 在这绞死丹尼·笛福后清晨。
